Game still requires either full or limited data collection in order to play. It apparently asks you for permission after the intro cutscene.

Sadly, based on reviews for the game on GOG, while the game is technically DRM-free (in that it doesn’t Emily any of the traditional DRM like Denuvo), it still requests either full or limited data collection.

Looks like links to it are completely blacklisted, too. That’s rare to see.

They also have a warp core breach like every other week on the show.

Ah, ok, so it was a mechanical failure, not a software glitch.

except for the two times it got stuck in a boot loop until the battery died.

Did the emergency shut-off (holding down the volume down and power buttons at the same time) not work?

If Lemmy had gold, I’d give it to you.

And parsecs measure distance, not time, and yet here we are.

There’s plenty of spacewalks in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. They don’t have gravity there and instead have to use thrusters or magnetized boots.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought of that song. XD

I’m curious if Sony had properly advertised their account creation requirement much earlier on if people would’ve accepted.

It’s not even that they didn’t properly advertise it. It’s that they changed the requirements completely. Here’s a before and after of one of their FAQ pages:

Movies, ebooks, audiobooks, TV shows, anime, games, PC software (be careful with this one), etc… You just need to know where to look.

It’s at least partially because these games have been available on PC in areas where PSN isn’t available. So people bought them, not knowing that, eventually, PSN would be required.

What’s more, Sony has also removed the game from sale on PC where PSN isn’t available. So now some people can’t even buy the game on PC anymore. And people who do own the game are left with two choices: violate Sony’s own TOS to create a PSN account for a country they don’t live in (something that, ironically, some of Sony’s own support reps have supposedly suggested) or attempt to refund the game.

It’s also worth noting that some countries actually require you to own a PlayStation console to even be able to create a PSN account. You have to create an account via the console. It’s not available on a web browser. One country in particular that I’ve heard this is an issue in is Ukraine.

When driving, being predictable is being nice. Being nice is an accident waiting to happen.

… That sounded better in my head.

It doesn’t just happen when both people are trying to turn. I have a busy multi-lane road near me with a left turn lane that’s just past a stoplight (the stoplight is behind me, but in front of the people whose lanes I need to cross to get to where I need to go.

I’ll be stopped in the turn lane waiting for traffic to clear. The stoplight will turn red, and oncoming traffic will back up past the turn lane I’m in. Someone in one of the oncoming traffic lanes will stop before the turn lane to try to let me past, but the people in the other oncoming traffic lane (who are now in my blind spot thanks to the car that stopped to try to let me through) will keep on coming. That’s just an accident waiting to happen at that point.

Because everyone has a different core temperature. So it really can’t be set value like 100°F.

Generally speaking, a fever of 100°F is “fine”, albeit completely exhausting and not at all fun, but it’s good for helping the body to fight infections.

Fevers higher than 102°F are when you need to start working on bringing that fever down. If it climbs higher than that, you risk brain injury. The proteins in your body will also start to denature (lose their ability to function) as your temperature climbs, including proteins that work within your brain and your nervous system.

If it continues to climb or won’t go down even after taking medicine, you need to call your doctor or go to the hospital.

Ironically, Microsoft would later remove Cortana itself in an update.

Asking stuff like that is always a good idea, IMO. It could be the difference between a successful Linux install and a very expensive paperweight.

… Don’t ask me how to install it, though. I’ve only tried Ubuntu as a dual-boot, and that was several years ago.

Yeah, what happened with GitHub?

The only reason Switch emulation is as far along as it is is because they made a mistake with the hardware in the Switch’s 2017 model. As long as they don’t make a mistake like that again, they’ll probably be fine.
